Dear Clayart,
There a few new photos on my website www.alisa-potshop.dk. on the Glaze =
test page.
They are photos of some glaze tests that were already posted to the =
list, so all the recipes are in the archives as well.
There are also some tests with Wollastonite subbed for Whiting on a M.W. =
basis.
Further, I know it looks amaturish, but that is because it is. I am =
using as many hours as I can to learn this. It is fun to be able to =
post the pictures of the tests.
Hope the photots are useful.
regards from Alisa in Denmark.

Alisa --
I am, as always, slayed by your generosity in testing these glazes,
sharing your results, and posting the photos.
Next time people on this list get their knickers in a twist over
minutiae and misunderstandings, I urge all to remember that people
like you exist here. You go above and beyond.
.....Lo

Alisa,
Thanks for the great shots and recipes. I am in a new stage of my pottery
(moving up a little) so am anxious to get to the studio and try these out.
I have some test pieces in the kiln and can't wait to see what they look
like. I think one is the Kemp 5. Keep sharing the knowledge. That is
what is so neat about Clayart.

You have made my day about sieving. It seems to be a big part in glazing
but with all the little particles crushed out by the roller, I figured this
would work.
I am anxious to try it out.

Thank you Alisa lovely tests. The next time you fire the crystal glazes try to soak them
at least one hour I do it at 1055C. You better use porcelain - I believe you will have a
yellow background

Alisa,
Yes, my father's name is Clay. He passed away several years ago but if he
were alive, he would really be interested in all of my "puttering and
potting". Our ancestors are Cherokee plus a little of everybody from
Europe.!! In 1999 we toured the Highlands of Scotland and found some of my
husband's ancestory.
I did not have a good kiln day. The manual timer went off before the cone
triggered cone 6. I have bought a new Skutt 1027 so will use it next time
not the old one I just used.
Boy, this is a process. I have bought every chemical that Bennett's has to
offer, numerous books, gone to a workshop on crystalline glazing plus other
conferences over the years. I have been doing low-fire and using
commercially mixed glazes. So, mixing my own and testing is a whole new
world. I have learned so much from Clayart (in many ways, I might add).
Keep sending all the good info.
Question: For my test pieces I have been putting the dry mix in a plastic
sandwich bag, labeling it then use a roller to get it really fine. Do I
still need to sieve it because it is rolled to very fine particles. I know
this is a shortcut but just thought I would ask. I am mixing only 100 gms
at a time for the testing pieces.
I would love to visit your place. It looks so inviting.

Somne glazes don't need it, some do. I always seive
glazes that have whiting, but seldom any others.
